In my country the idea of living in "the green and peaceful countryside" has of late become increasingly popular, so people are actually starting to move (back) there, supposedly to get away from the stress and pollution of urbanised areas. Perhaps Japan will experience a similar change of attitude towards rural life in the future?

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
